'A Plane Where it Wasn't Supposed to Be'

Pamela Hart, of Upper Marlboro, reflects upon her Sept. 11th experience.

Sept. 11, 2001 was a day like any other for Pamela Hart. The veteran federal employee had just settled into her office at the Department of Justice building in Arlington, when she looked out the window and saw American Airlines Flight 77 headed for the Pentagon.

Naturally, she was shaken by the visual. When a colleague asked she had seen, Hart responded that she "saw a plane where it wasn't supposed to be, and I knew it was headed for the Pentagon."

Ten years later, and Hart is retired. She spends time in church and fixing up her Upper Marlboro home, but she has never forgotten about that infamous day.
